Trading plan for October 4
Trading is very intense these days as there are a lot of news. Firstly the euro rose on reports that Italy plans to reduce its budget deficit over the next three years.

On Thursday, October 4, we will likely continue hearing news about Italy. The economic calendar is light with only Australian trade balance and Canadian Ivey PMI.
EUR/USD remains under negative pressure. Sellers will get new opportunities below 1.15. If the euro attempts to recover, it will meet resistance at 1.1590 and 1.1620.
